Description

More and more clients are coming in today with a long list of painful feelings, such as an overwhelming sense of loneliness, panic, confusion, hopeless, directionless, and meaninglessness. They’re worried about the future and say things like I don’t know who I am, I don’t know what I’m doing with my life, and I’m just going through the motions. These anxious, depressed, and even traumatized clients are facing something called “existential anxiety,” and it’s surging today. In this workshop, we’ll explore how to address issues of identity, meaning, and purpose, especially in younger generations. You’ll learn: 

  • Practical interventions from existential therapy that can be integrated into your current work 
  • How to conceptualize cases from an existential perspective 
  • Understanding the concept of “self” and “self-loss” and how it’s a driving force behind much of the anxious and traumatized clients we see today, particularly among Gen Z, clients facing major life transitions, chronic illnesses, and grief and loss
